The Honored Miss —\u00a06 Furlongs on Dirt<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Grade II — Purse : $375,000<\/b><\/p>\n

Restricted to 3 Year Olds and Older, Fillies and Mares Only\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New York welcomes a field of 12 filly and mare sprinters, most of whom are looking for their first graded stakes win. In order get that coveted silver star, however, they will first have to contend with Angel\u2019s Trumpets<\/b>. Winner of The Nutcracker last year, this DISTORTED HUMOR x STORM CAT x SEATTLE SLEW scratch breed looks to bounce back from a tough spring and summer and demonstrate that she can still win big at six years old.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

1: Digginnosegold
\n<\/b>Owner: desertdog11<\/p>\n

MIDNIGHT LUTE x FORTY NINER x SEATTLE SLEW
\n9\/1<\/p>\n

With two nongraded stakes wins under her belt, this four-year-old has taken a step up in class with consecutive also-ran finishes in Grade 2 dirt sprints.<\/p>\n

2: Swanro
\n<\/b>Owner: arton
\nPIERRO (AUS) x AFLEET x EL GRAN SENOR<\/p>\n

8\/1<\/p>\n

Won the G2 Davey Jones Handicap and G3 Blackhawk Cup as a big underdog last year but has failed to hit the board in seven straight starts.<\/p>\n

3: Made Ready
\n<\/b>Owner: mtk76stc
\nMORE THAN READY x A.P. INDY x STORM CAT<\/p>\n

9\/1<\/p>\n

Daughter of G2 winner Made Indy USA, finished second at the Quote the Raven last fall. Ridden by M. Kelly again for the third time in six starts.<\/p>\n

4: She\u2019s a Breawty
\n<\/b>Owner: 3dddz
\nMILWAUKEE BREW x WANTED x CLASSIC CAT<\/p>\n

19\/1<\/p>\n

A Canadian longshot in her third attempt at a graded stakes race, achieved most of her early success out west racing in Oregon and New Mexico.<\/p>\n

5: More War Senorita
\n<\/b>Owner: rickybobby4
\nWAR EMBLEM x EL GRAN SENOR x MT. LIVERMORE<\/p>\n

6\/1<\/p>\n

The second favorite at 6\/1, has won three of her past four outings in ungraded stakes races. Her two attempts at the G3 level resulted in 8th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> placed finishes, however, and this is another step up in class.<\/p>\n

6: Stylo Rags
\n<\/b>Owner: pastmaster
\nUNION RAGS x BERNSTEIN x MORE THAN READY<\/p>\n

9\/1<\/p>\n

Daughter of a G2 winner who finished 2nd<\/sup> in three straight Grade 3 races this spring, had a disappointing outing last time on the track but could bounce back in style.<\/p>\n

7: Clash of Bones<\/b><\/p>\n

Owner: ksparrow2
\nDECLARATION OF WAR x FORTY NINER x THATCHING<\/p>\n

28\/1<\/p>\n

Finished in the rear of the G1 Princess Looney a month ago, but does boast a stakes win after a long layoff in June.<\/p>\n

8: Spirit Maker<\/b><\/p>\n

Owner: super18
\nINVINCIBLE SPIRIT (IRE) x BERNARDINI x EMPIRE MAKER<\/p>\n

12\/1<\/p>\n

Fell off the race last time out in the G2 Best Flight. Her other recent speed numbers haven\u2019t impressed but this is when things started to heat up a year ago.<\/p>\n

9: Paradoxical War<\/b><\/p>\n

Owner: xpansion7
\nWAR FRONT x DISTORTED HUMOR x STORM CAT<\/p>\n

9\/1<\/p>\n

Finished in the money in all but two of her 18 starts. Facing the longest odds of her career in a step up to graded stakes.<\/p>\n

10: Allthroughtheyears<\/b><\/p>\n

Owner: blankpoin6
\nSTORMY ATLANTIC x RAHY x NIJINSKY 2ND<\/p>\n

13\/1<\/p>\n

Second attempt at the G2 level after finishing 12th<\/sup> in the Virginia Madison. Runner-up to Lingerie Party last time out.<\/p>\n

11: Cross of Joy<\/b><\/p>\n

Owner: stable92
\nCROSS TRAFFIC x BLACK TIE AFFAIR x LYPHARD<\/p>\n

27\/1<\/p>\n

Pretty unknown after missing all of 2016 and racing just twice last year, but finishing 5th<\/sup> in a stakes race on this track last month has her owner confident in this test.<\/p>\n

12: Angel\u2019s Trumpets<\/b><\/p>\n

Owner: koza
\nDISTORTED HUMOR x STORM CAT x SEATTLE SLEW<\/p>\n

4\/1<\/p>\n

Oldest horse in the race, but still a clear favorite. Looking for a bit of grade relief after a disappointing string of results to start 2018. If she can win here, perhaps it will kick off a campaign to avenge last year\u2019s Breeders’ Bowl F and M Sprint runner-up finish.<\/p>\n

13: Sherpa Zip Tie<\/b><\/p>\n

Owner: manon
\nCITY ZIP x AWESOME AGAIN x DANZIG<\/p>\n

7\/1<\/p>\n

Decent record as an underdog going a mile, but it remains to be seen whether that will translate over a shorter distance. Came from way back to win an ungraded stakes race in May.<\/p>\n

14: Pivotal Strikes<\/b><\/p>\n

Owner: goldeneye2
\nIVOTAL x SMART STRIKE x GIANT’S CAUSEWAY<\/p>\n

54\/1<\/p>\n

A huge underdog and the only three-year-old in the field, coming from a turf background. However, the track will be sloppy and she won a dirt allowance race last time out in the mud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
